The New York Mets returned to Citi Field in Queens, New York, on Tuesday night, facing the Minnesota Twins amid a troubling 11-game losing streak, the team's longest since 2004. The sparse crowd, with only a few thousand fans present in the 46-degree Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) weather, reflected the team's struggles. Manager Carlos Mendoza and pitcher Sean Manaea acknowledged the fans' frustrations, with Manaea expecting a less-than-friendly reception. However, Francisco Lindor provided a glimmer of hope by hitting a three-run homer in the third inning, marking the Mets' biggest lead since early April. The team has struggled offensively, hitting just .200 during the losing streak and being outscored 62-19. Slugger Juan Soto is anticipated to return from the injured list, which could help turn the team's fortunes around. Mendoza remains optimistic, stating that the fans will support the team once they start performing better.
